Question

Is it common to not see two sacs at 7 weeks, when carrying twins?

Share

I just found out that I am having twins!! The ultrasound showed two babies, but no visible dividing line for the sacs. My doctor assured me that it is common to not clearly see two sacs this early. So I go back in two weeks for another ultrasound to check again. We have a six year old & have been trying for 4 years to get pregnant, so we are feeling super blessed about this, but how do I keep myself from worrying about monoamniotic twins? Has anyone had this happen?

i did! at 7 weeks 4 days we were told momo... i watched and watched and there was no membrane to be seen... at 8 weeks 2 days I had my cousin who is an ultra sound tech, give me a second opinion... she found modi! The best time to tell is generally 8-10 weeks. I just realized how old this post is, so you probably already know by now. I hope all is going well. Be sure to check out the group "momo twins" or "modi twins" on facebook. those women are amazing! Good luck!
